Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of electric vehicle charging, and in particular to a configuration method of a charging component for charging an electric vehicle, an electronic device, and a charging component. Background Art

[0002] With the increasing popularity of electric vehicles, the demand for charging facilities is also growing rapidly. Different types of charging stations, such as dedicated charging stations and parking lot combined stations, need to deploy a large number of charging facilities to meet the needs of charging multiple electric vehicles at the same time. The charging system deployed at the station usually includes a fuse cabinet from which power is drawn and at least one branch connected to the fuse cabinet, each branch connected in parallel to at least one charging component. The charging system can support up to ten or more branches at the charging station, each branch connecting fifty or even more charging components to the fuse cabinet.

[0003] When adding a charging component to a charging system, the charging component needs to be configured before it can operate in the charging system. The charging component may need to be configured when the charging system is first deployed, when the charging component is replaced during maintenance, when the number of charging system branches is changed, or when the number of branch charging components is increased or decreased. For example, if a charging component needs to be replaced due to a failure of an electronic component, you need to go to the charging system site to configure the new charging component so that it can operate in the charging system.

[0004] In the related art, setting up the charging components to operate in the charging system often requires professional operation, and once an error occurs, there may be greater safety risks. Usually the installation and after-sales personnel of the service provider need to have electrical engineering experience and be trained to know how to configure the charging components in order to correctly replace and configure the charging components so that they can work properly in the charging system. This service may involve going to the location of the charging system, which takes a lot of time and results in a lot of operation and maintenance costs. And there is a possibility of error when connecting the charging components to the charging system and configuring the charging components. Such errors may cause accidents such as electric shock or fire. If they are put into use without testing, accidents may cause damage to the electric vehicle connected to the charging components.

[0005] Some prior art provides a solution to reduce the involvement of professionals in the process of setting up charging components. The solution includes an adapter that can provide different charging outputs and at least one charging module associated with the aforementioned specific output. These charging modules are detachably coupled to the adapter. Because the charging module and the adapter are easy to install and disassemble, they can be completed by ordinary personnel. This method simplifies the installation work of professionals to only installing the adapter without configuring the charging module. Compared with the method in which both installation and configuration are completed by professionals, it reduces the installation difficulty and personnel cost of the charging component. However, this method requires the replacement of the charging module to change the charging current, and the specifications of the charging module that the adapter can be equipped with are also limited. Therefore, the charging current specifications of the charging module that can be obtained are limited and cannot be changed dynamically. The frequent manual operation of replacing the charging module limits the application of this solution in charging stations with a large number of charging components today. Replacing the charging module is a high-voltage electrical operation, and frequent replacement increases the risk factor. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0066] In order to make the technical scheme and technical effects of the present disclosure clearer, the present disclosure will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0070] The optional embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a configuration method of a charging assembly for charging an electric vehicle, wherein the charging assembly includes a power connection base and a charging body, wherein the charging body includes a near field communication module, a far field communication module, a data storage medium, and a central controller, wherein the charging body is used to be hooked to the power connection base and connected to a specific branch of a charging system of a charging station through the power connection base, and the method includes:

[0071] Step S102: the charging subject is connected to the network configuration terminal through the near field communication module, the network information of the current charging subject is configured through the network configuration terminal and the network information is stored in the data storage medium;

[0072] Step S104: the central controller reads the network information stored in the data storage medium, and uses the network information to access the Internet;

[0073] Step S106: After the charging subject is connected to the Internet, the charging information of the current charging subject is configured from the cloud server based on the network information.

[0074] The method may further include the following step: the charging subject obtains charging current from a specific branch of a charging system of a charging station through the power connection base based on the charging information to charge the electric vehicle.

[0075] like Figure 2-Figure 3 As shown, the charging system for charging electric vehicles through a charging body includes a charging station charging system 100, the charging station charging system 100 has a plurality of specific branches, each specific branch is connected to a plurality of charging components 1000, each charging component 1000 includes a power connection base 200 and a charging body 300, the power connection base 200 is connected to the corresponding charging body 300, and the charging body 300 charges the electric vehicle 400 through the charging line. The power connection base 200 is configured to hook the charging body 300 and connect the charging body 300 to a specific branch of the charging station charging system 100. The charging station charging system 100 includes an equalizer, a fuse cabinet and at least one branch connected to the fuse cabinet. The equalizer is used for load balancing between the charging branches. The charging station charging system 100 allows multiple groups of charging components 1000 to be provided so that multiple electric vehicles 400 can be charged at the same time. In the multiple branches of the charging station charging system 100, each branch is connected in parallel with at least one charging component 1000. The charging station charging system 100 can support home use, where a small number of charging components are connected to a fuse cabinet through a single branch, and can also support charging stations with up to ten or more branches, where each branch connects fifty or more charging components to a fuse cabinet.

[0076] like Figure 3As shown, the charging assembly 1000 includes a power connection base 200 and a charging body 300, and the charging body 300 includes a charging host 301 and a shell 302. Different charging bodies 300 can be connected to the same power connection base 200 to form an independent charging assembly 1000. Figure 4 As shown, the charging body 300 includes a near-field communication module 310, a far-field communication module 320, a data storage medium 330 and a central controller 340. The near-field communication module 310 and the far-field communication module 320 can communicate directly with the data storage medium 330, or communicate with the central controller 340, and the central controller 340 reads and writes data in the data storage medium 330.

[0077] The near field communication module 310 includes at least one of the following: NFC tag, Bluetooth module, Wi-Fi module, RFID module, information identification code, etc. The information identification code can be a barcode, a two-dimensional code, and is a coding system that can be automatically recognized and decoded by a scanner or other reading device. Near field communication can reuse the Bluetooth module with other functions of the charging component 1000, and can use Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology, which can reduce the cost of the charging entity. Near field communication can also reuse the Wi-Fi module, and use Wi-Fi direct connection technology. The charging component can create a temporary Wi-Fi hotspot. The station configuration personnel use the information configuration terminal to connect to this hotspot and complete the configuration directly in the local area network. The near field communication module 310 can be wirelessly readable, such as the data storage medium is an RFID tag. The near field communication module 310 can also be optically readable, such as the data storage medium is a barcode.

[0078] The far-field communication module 320 includes at least one of the following: a WI-FI module, a cellular network module, a WISUN module, etc. The WI-FI module can be used to connect to the router of the charging station and then to the cloud server. The cellular network module, such as a 4G, 5G, or 6G module, can be used to connect to the base station and then to the cloud server. After the charging component 1000 is installed, the charging information can be obtained from the cloud server through the far-field communication module 320.

[0079] The data storage medium 330 is configured to store a data field of network information and can further store charging information. The near field communication module 310 can have a data storage device as a data storage medium 330 to form a near field communication module 310 with a storage function, such as an NFC tag. The near field communication module 310 can also communicate with an independent data storage medium 330 to achieve data storage. The storage function module of the central controller 340 can also exist as a data storage medium 330.

[0080] The data storage medium 330 can be set on the charging host 301 and electrically connected to the central controller 340 of the charging host 301, such as the electrical connection between the NFC tag and the central controller. This connection method does not require additional configuration of information reading devices, such as card readers, which increases costs, and data transmission is more stable and reliable.

[0081] An independent connector may be provided on the charging host 301 and / or the housing 302 for plugging in the data storage medium 330. Since the connector is an independent component, the subsequent replacement and repair of the charging component or the power socket does not require reconfiguration. The original data storage medium 330 can be directly used by simply removing it and plugging it into a new charging component or power socket, truly realizing permanent use of one-time configuration, effectively reducing after-sales service costs. The connector can also be plugged into the near field communication module 310.

[0082] The near field communication module 310 can be set on the charging host 301 and / or the housing 302. Whether it is set on the charging host 301, the housing 302 or an independent connector, the near field communication module 310 is relatively close to the outer surface of the charging component 1000. Therefore, after the charging component 1000 is installed and put into use, the user (such as the car owner) can use the mobile terminal to approach the near field communication module 310 to achieve close range communication. The mobile terminal is a movable user device, such as a mobile phone. Taking the interactive and convenient NFC near field communication module as an example, the NFC near field communication module and the data storage medium are integrated into an NFC tag. In some embodiments, when the user needs to quickly start charging, the mobile terminal can scan the NFC tag with the mobile terminal, and the mobile terminal directly wakes up the application App through the deep link URL in the NFC tag to quickly start charging without multiple steps. When the mobile terminal does not have the application App installed, the operating system's convenient access application module (such as Apple App Clip or Android Instant App) or page (such as HTML5) can be woken up to quickly start charging.

[0083] In some scenarios, NFC tags may not be the best choice due to cost or compatibility issues. In this case, NFC can be combined with QR code technology. For example, the charging subject can be equipped with both NFC tags and QR codes. For users who cannot use NFC, the configuration and quick start of the charging subject can be completed by scanning the QR code. The QR code can be linked to the same application or specific web page as NFC to achieve similar functions.

[0084] In this case, it is also possible to consider using a BLE module integrated in the charging body, and the user can configure and quickly start the charging component 1000 by connecting to the Bluetooth on the user device. The BLE module is simple to operate and can provide a user experience similar to that of an NFC tag while reducing dependence on specific hardware.

[0085] Also, because the charging host 301 and / or the housing 302 are relatively close to the outer surface of the charging component 1000, encryption is required to read and write information from the data storage medium 330. The data storage area can be divided into a public area and a confidential area, and different types of data can be stored in the corresponding areas. For the user device to read and write data in the confidential area, it is necessary to decrypt the confidential area and pass the authentication of the user device. The authentication information may include password information, user identification code, user ID, and subject code. Only the user device that has passed the authentication can read the charging information to prevent other users from stealing the charging information. Therefore, the dual security guarantee that the user device needs to authenticate and decrypt the data storage medium enhances the security and reliability of the information in the data storage medium.

[0086] The charging host 301 and / or the housing 302 are relatively close to the outer surface of the charging component 1000. When the configuration information of the maximum current needs to be modified after the charging component 1000 has aged for many years, the information configuration terminal can be directly brought close to the charging component 1000 for modification.

[0087] During the installation of the charging components of the charging station, the power connection base 200 is first uniformly constructed by professional electricians according to the planning of the charging station. Because the power connection base 200 has the same configuration for each charging component, there is no need to subdivide by position during the installation process. The installation of the charging body 300 does not involve complex strong power processing, so ordinary non-electricians can complete the operation. However, each charging body 300 needs to have a fixed network position, so that it corresponds to the network topology of the charging station after being put into use, so as to synchronize the current charging body status to the network topology in real time, and realize real-time monitoring of each charging body, so as to carry out load balancing and phase balancing deployment according to the power consumption of each charging body in the entire station, and change the power supply capacity of the charging body in each system according to the deployed charging information. It is also possible to quickly locate the faulty charging body for repair and maintenance after a charging body fails in the system. Therefore, it is necessary to complete the network distribution work of the charging body 300 in advance, and install the charging body 300 with the network information written in a certain order on the power connection base 200. The network distribution work of the charging body 300 only needs to be completed before the installation of the charging body 300. It can be written in advance before the installation of the power connection base 200, for example, before delivery according to the specific site plan, to reduce on-site deployment of manpower, or the charging components 1000 can be written uniformly after arriving at the site. After each charging body 300 is installed on the power connection base 200, the installation can be completed without powering on the charging component 1000 for debugging and configuring the charging information. The configuration of the charging information can be automatically obtained from the cloud server at the first time of startup and the first moment of establishing a communication connection with the cloud server after it is put into use. With this step-by-step installation, the network data is first configured through the network configuration terminal, and then the charging component directly configures the charging information from the cloud server to achieve automatic configuration, which reduces the requirements for the ability of the installer.

[0088] When replacing the charging body later, first remove the original charging body from the power socket, read the information stored in the data storage medium of the original charging body and write it into the data storage medium of the new charging body, then hang the new charging body to the power socket for use, and synchronize the charging information of the charging body from the cloud server for configuration and storage in the data storage medium of the charging body. Such rapid configuration during the replacement process reduces the difficulty of on-site operation, does not require professional installation service personnel, and reduces the cost of after-sales service. Backing up configuration information including network information and charging information on the cloud server can effectively ensure data security, avoid configuration loss due to accidental damage to the charging component, and can also quickly configure when replacing the charging component to reduce the difficulty of on-site operation.

[0089] When changing the number of charging system branches or increasing or decreasing the number of branch charging components, the changed charging information, such as the maximum current and / or maximum power of the branch, the maximum current and / or maximum power of the charging component can be modified directly on the cloud server and sent to each charging component in the station. There is no need for after-sales service personnel to arrive at the station, reducing after-sales service costs.

[0090] Step 102 is performed in sequence and uniformly before the charging body 300 is installed on the power connection base 200 at the corresponding position.

[0091] In step S102, the charging subject 300 is connected to the network configuration terminal through the near field communication module 310, and the network information of the current charging subject 300 is configured through the network configuration terminal. The network information can be stored in the data storage medium 330. After each charging subject 300 obtains the network information, it determines its own network configuration basis, and can configure the charging information of the charging subject 300 by itself, and the installation can be completed without powering on. In some embodiments, the network configuration terminal is a mobile terminal, and the mobile terminal can be a mobile phone. The mobile phone sends the network information of the current charging subject to the near field communication module of the current charging subject, and the current charging subject stores the network information in the data storage medium. The network configuration terminal can also be a near field communication device connected to a mobile phone or a computer, such as an NFC card reader or a barcode scanner, and the near field communication device and the mobile phone or computer communicate by electrical connection or near field communication (such as Bluetooth).

[0092] In some embodiments, the network information includes a network unique identification code, and may also include the environment where the charging component is located, such as a charging station, a Wi-Fi user name and password, etc. Among them, the network unique identification code may be a machine unique identification code bound to the charging subject, and different charging subjects have their own unique identification codes. The network unique identification code may be an SN code, or a MAC address, or other code information that can distinguish different charging subjects 300. After the network unique identification code passes identity authentication and registration, an IP address will be assigned, which is used for information transmission and positioning. The user name and password of the charging station's WI-FI can enable the charging subject to automatically connect to the Internet through the station router after powering on, eliminating the complicated manual operation of AP network configuration. If the charging subject is connected to the Internet and exchanges information with the cloud server through a mobile communication chip, there is no need to configure the user name and password of the charging station's Wi-Fi.

[0093] Configuring the network information of the current charging subject through the network configuration terminal can be achieved only through the near field communication module 310, without the need to connect to the network environment of the cloud server.

[0094] The network configuration terminal can also configure the initial charging information of the current charging subject to be stored in the data storage medium 330. After the configuration of the charging subject is completed, the specific configuration information will be synchronously stored in the cloud.

[0095] In some embodiments, the charging information includes at least one of the following information:

[0096] a data field for a maximum current and / or a maximum power drawn from the charging station charging system by the particular branch;

[0097] A data field for the maximum current and / or maximum power that can be drawn by the charging subject from the specific branch through the power connection base;

[0098] In addition, the charging information may also include at least one of the following information:

[0099] Phase, current and / or power distribution information of each charging gun of the current charging subject;

[0100] The rated current and / or rated power information of the current charging subject;

[0101] Deep link URL;

[0102] Charging component ID field.

[0103] The maximum current and / or maximum power data field that can be drawn by the specific branch from the fuse cabinet is used as a specific branch threshold to prevent certain branches from having excessive current, causing other charging subjects in the branch to be unable to perform charging services due to insufficient current. The maximum current and / or maximum power data field that can be drawn by the charging subject from the specific branch through the power connection base is used as a charging subject threshold to prevent certain charging subjects from having excessive current, causing other charging subjects on the branch to be unable to perform charging services due to insufficient current. When the current charging subject is connected to two or more charging guns, the phase, current and / or power distribution information of each charging gun also needs to be configured like the maximum current of the branch and the charging subject, so as to achieve load balancing and optimal energy distribution of the entire station. The deep link URL is used to call an application or page to quickly start charging. The charging component ID field is used to correspond to the network topology diagram of the charging station, so as to synchronize the current charging subject status to the network topology diagram in real time, thereby achieving real-time monitoring and rapid positioning. Based on the ID field and the network information, the connection relationship and position relationship between the current charging subject and other charging subjects in the charging system of the charging station are determined; based on the connection relationship and position relationship, the current and / or power that can be drawn by each charging subject in the charging system of the charging station and the electrical phase used by each charging subject are coordinated to achieve load balancing and phase balancing.

[0104] In some embodiments, the configuration personnel (ordinary non-electrician personnel) will receive the encrypted information of the network configuration terminal through the near-field communication module of the charging subject, and send the decrypted information to the network configuration terminal to establish a readable and writable connection, and write network information, such as a unique network identification code, through the network configuration terminal APP. The use of encryption between the charging subject and the network configuration terminal effectively ensures data security and the security of the charging subject's network information. The encryption / decryption information can be preset security information for verification when the user accesses it, and can be pre-configured according to different algorithms, which will not be elaborated here.

[0105] In step S104, the charging main body 300 reads the network information stored in the data storage medium 330 and uses the network information to access the Internet. After the charging main body 300 is connected to the power base 300 and the installation is completed, the charging component is powered on and starts to operate. Figure 4 As shown, the charging main body 300 can directly read the network information stored in the data storage medium 330 through its own central controller 340, and control the near-field communication module 310 and the far-field communication module 320 to execute subsequent communication instructions. Since the central controller 340 and the data storage medium 330 are directly communicating by electrical signals, compared with other communication methods such as reading and writing conversion by wireless reading and writing devices, the communication efficiency is higher, the data transmission is safer and more stable, and no additional reading and writing modules are required, which is lower in cost.

[0106] In step S102, when the data storage medium has been configured with initial charging information, the central controller 340 directly reads the data storage medium 330 of the charging component, obtains charging information such as current for the charging component, and adjusts the amount of current drawn from the power socket accordingly. Since no wireless communication process or read-write conversion process by a read-write device is required, information transmission speed is faster and charging efficiency is higher.

[0107] In step S106 , after the charging subject 300 is connected to the Internet, the charging information of the current charging subject 300 is configured from the cloud server based on the network information.

[0108] When the charging subject is connected to the network for the first time, each charging subject 300 performs identity authentication and registration through network information and obtains an IP address, thereby automatically going online to download all the information required to complete the charging service and storing the charging information in the data storage medium 330.

[0109] After the charging subject starts working, when the cloud server data is updated, the charging information will be automatically and synchronously sent to the charging subject. If the charging subject is not connected to the network, it will also be sent to the charging subject at the first moment when the charging component is reconnected to the network. The cloud server constantly obtains the charging current of each branch in the station and each charging subject in the branch, and sends the energy distribution results of the entire station to each charging subject respectively. Therefore, the data of the cloud server is the most reliable in the entire system. It is also the most reliable for the charging subject 300 to provide charging capability using the electrical phase, current and / or power distribution information in the charging information of the cloud server.
